Tenant, lease the Premises, or any part thereof, for the whole or any part
thereof, for the whole or any part of the then unexpired term, and may
receive and collect all rent payable by virtue of such leasing, and, at
Landlord's option, hold Tenant liable for any difference between the rent
that would have been payable under this Agreement during the balance of
the unexpired term, if this Agreement had continued in force, and the net
rent for such period realized by Landlord by means of such lease. If
Landlord's right of reentry is exercised following abandonment of the
Premises by Tenant, then Landlord shall consider any personal property
belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises to also have been
abandoned, in which case Landlord may dispose of all such personal
property in any manner Landlord shall deem proper and Landlord is
hereby relieved of all liability for doing so.

determined by the court and made a part of any judgment.
RECORDING OF AGREEMENT. Tenant shall not record this Agreement on

terminate immediately and Landlord shall be entitled to all rights and
remedies that it has at law or in equity.

interpreted by, through and under the Laws of the State of Georgia.

shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable,
